If I have the freedom to express my thoughts, I would say Living Lounge is the sculpture of a bulky lazy fellow resting on the lawn. But the source of inspiration lies in something I can hardly imagine. This chic looking living lounge is a luxurious piece of furniture that translates 20th Century European Roadster into a chaise, gesture suggesting an impression that it has a life of its own adding to its splendor. This is designed by Joel and Janci Green of JGreen Design.

It’s a stylish lounge that will sit smartly to give a classy look to the entire room you live in! No wonder that the unique piece of furniture is a 2008 Niche Awards winner; judged by the criteria like - technical excellence, both in surface design and form, market viability, a distinct quality of unique, original and creative thought. And the price is as high as its beauty - $7500. Ouch! But I think this is very reasonable for a splendid piece like this Living Lounge. What do you say?

Tell me, what comes to your mind when you have a look at these fabulous designs? Don’t they look like some ancient treasure dug out from the heart of deep sea? But I must tell you that this is the result of devoted creativity, that of the Washington designers. These are made of yellow gold and precious gems like Mexican fire opals, pink tourmalines, Japanese akoya pearls etc. While the gold-plated necklace of interlocking rings is made by Manuela Costa, the simple but attractive earrings of gold & pearl are designed by Rachelle Celine. I love the little star-shaped brooch of sparkling gems. This is colorful, bright and dazzling! This eye-popping piece is created by Emma Villedrouin. There is no exaggeration of patters or colors, but what pop up are some of the excellent ornaments one can ever imagine about. Love it!

Well, you may try to find out your answer here! Food can not be made out of jewelry, but a very attractive neckpiece is possible through food grains. Here is one; the Hunger designed by Kali Arulpragasam. This party-wear designer necklace is a created over things we can never imagine! Trust me friends, it is composed of sweet corn, bean, lentils and rice. Yah, now you can distinguish the grains from the familiar shapes & sizes. The total weight is some 360gms of stuff. Quite heavy for your delicate neck! But I think one can happily bear the burden, when it’s the matter of such a nice jewelry.

Often we have seen that vegetables are beaded and decorated for the hot fashion shows. Oh’ how funny that looks! If you can recall, sometimes wearing eatables are found in the protest against rising prices of food…. I can’t ignore it completely, for Kali seems to have been inspired from all these – in the eyes of extreme poverty, food is much more precious than gold and silver.

Better, we should add a prefix and name it “the Mystic Malladeria Vest”. And we must praise the photographer as well, for placing an owl along with the dress, which heightens its obscure look. Not many designers can imagine a vest being so craftily decorative, but Kaytee Papusza can.

Being inspired by the chaos, dead stuff, antiques and mysterious places, this young designer finally comes up with some unusual pieces. And do you know, what’s the stuff that makes it extraordinary? Malladeria vest is made of suede cotton with faux fur (that one can hardly guess as imitation) decorated on the front part. Hand-woven belt closure is the charm of this vest. The ruffled-trim of black tulle fabric and triangular cut at the back gives it a wild tribal look. With a high price of $250, this designer vest is available in three dark shades- black, gray and teal. What’s your choice buddy?

When it’s the matter of cool fashion, nothing can be more comfortable than a T-shirt. Specially, if your T-shirt features something very attractive like this. I know, you’ll do no wrong in recognizing this beautiful lady.

Yeah, you got it right! This is Princess Leia from ‘Return of the Jedi’ in her most iconic golden bikini. And unfortunately, if you don’t know, I must tell you that this appearance of Princess Leia has been voted as one of the most memorable swimsuit moments in the history of cinema. As always, on the white shirt she looks charming, strong and unique! We can say that this is a tribute to the famous fictional character. The print looks like an artistic portrait with a classic charm to display. I got it from peepculture and hope you’ll love it too. I am sure; you can hardly wait to go for one. Am I wrong?

Winter is knocking at the door. What comes to the mind at first is sitting beside the stove with the body wrapped up in a hefty blanket. Isn’t it? To comfort a shivering body, nothing can replace the cozy warmth of real fur. But the animal rights activists will never let you live in peace, even if you just dream about that! Keeping that in mind, Loyale’s Fall 2008 Collection presents this Pomeroy throw blanket ($220), which can better replace that feeling. The luxurious vegan faux fur is uniformly lined on purely organic cotton. This eco-friendly blanket has a perfect size of 50” x 50”. It’s perfect for a cold winter night with a hot cup of coffee in your hand. Whether you are chatting with your love or just singing bed-time rhymes for the kiddos, Pomeroy throw envelopes your body with warmth, in those special moments.

Dazzling beauty!!! Numerous white diamonds are encrusted on this wrist watch to let you aback. Of course, this is a very very pricey piece of ornament. If you are familiar with the No. 5 perfume of Chanel, then you may find a resemblance of that in this magnificent timepiece. But if you are not, then I must tell you that this premiere collection Chanel wrist watch is inspired by the shape of that famous perfume bottle. It is one of the best perfumes of the world, and undoubtedly the watch is also projected at replicating the same popularity. The diamond encrusted trim, over a black dial looks classy and princely. The rest of its body is made of white gold. What an interesting and expensive combination!

Do you know, this pretty lady Marcia Morgan was a dentist from Brazil; but her unquenchable thirst for fashion accessories gave her courage to venture into this exciting, yet challenging world. Wonderful! I like that attitude!

Plenty of gold is everything that you’ll find in this Brazilian designs. Marcia’s jewelry pieces maintain the dignity of being purely golden. You don’t find sparkle of gemstones like diamond, ruby or sapphire mixed up with her collection that can only dominate the true essence of real amber. If you think these look heavy and bulky, then yes it’s true. Because each and every article of her collection is made with lots of gold. And did you get an insight into the source of inspiration? It’s the most simple and natural objects of life that strictly avoids any sort of exaggeration. How about the woven structure of the earring? I love it for its just about-to-drop shape. Looks like a delicate dew-drop from heaven!

When I was a small kid of 5, often I used to question myself- why I am not a mermaid and just a human being? But now I don’t have to ask that anymore. Because here is one beautiful gown which can turn me into a fascinating mermaid. The universally accepted emblem of natural beauty - mermaid - is no more a concept of mythology. You can see yourself turning into that much-desired charming lady with this aqua mermaid mesh halter dress. Carefully knitted sequins on the top highlight the feminine beauty, whereas the dazzling scale skirt is an exact imitation of the real fins. Well, the thin net around the middle part emphasizes your curve and gives a sleek shape to the entire body. Wow! That’s stunning, and I feel it must be equally gorgeous at the back part, for it’s a halter dress.

But make your bathtub ready to take a dip, or else you wouldn’t feel comfortable. Lol!!!

But did you notice the print on the apparel? With the return of Hannah Montana on your favorite channel, you must have changed the schedule to rock with the show. So how to celebrate this? Let’s change your dressing sense as well. How about this black hoodie projecting the pop diva? Well, tees and hoodies with big bold celebrity posters are not something new, but this design stands apart, for the poster is just at the corner. Do you know why it is so? I guess, the designer is very intelligent, and trickily places the print a little aside. So that one needs to gaze it for some time; let all concentrate to find out all the details. I am sure; no one can pass without turning the head, unlike the big posters.

Unusual, ridiculous or funny- what would be the appropriate name for this shape? Ok, doesn’t matter! It’s just lovely to deal with. Non-uniformed and a big whole in the middle - seems like being inspired by the cave structure. This Trip table does not promise to be a space saver, storage-combined or multipurpose desk, but yes, it stands aside as an iconic furniture with unparalleled structure. This Turkish masterpiece is designed by Pinar Yar and Tugrul Govsa of Govsa Composite. It’s a total breakaway from the contemporary designs which become heavy and box-pattern in order to merge number of shelves and drawers. Trip table is very light yet strong and durable for being made with the thinner walls filled with polyurethane. The bright blood red finish is just like icing on the cake. Use it as a coffee table or let it hold your bedside lamp to reflect a marvelous sight to enjoy.
